Five Star Friday's Edition #95

An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.

— Francois Rene De Chateaubriand

This Five Star Friday roundup is brought to you by feeling beautiful, grief, feminine hygiene, broken hearts, personal blogging, a gay husband, the New York Times, formula, a child with special needs, alcoholism, a murder, defining success, a power outage, self-hatred, Colin Thatcher, elders, and a product recall.

Also, share urls to your own good weblog posts in the comments!
